Re: Team Update 16

To: The GDC.
From: A concerned FIRSTer.

I can find no reason for the edit to <G23>. The manner of exchange, as described in <G22>, is simply that there must be a one-to-one. Your own Q&A confirms this. However, Update #16 implies that the way this was called at many of the Week 1 events, as well as the Suffield Shakedown before the end of the build season, is the correct one; that is, Super Cells must have an Empty Cell directly opposite them on the Cell Rack to be exchanged.

There is no definition of EXCHANGE in the Manual; it is therefore assumed to be a standard definition; that is, one-to-one, switch places. Your Q&A ruling gives another definition; that is, simply one-to-one. The manual gave the same interpretation as the Q&A does; the Update does not.

You are confusing us. Please, come out and say that Update #16 is retracted, or otherwise clarify the situation. The update does no good and much harm.
